10.1. The Board considered a report outlining a draft training strategy for the Pension Board, Pension Committee and officers of the ESPF.
10.2. The Chair noted some comments that he and William Bourne, the Independent Adviser to the Committee, had made. These included that there should not be a separate role description for scheme member and employer representatives on the Board, as they did not perform a different role; that there were two Vice Chairs of the Board who alternated their role; and the decision making matrix should be simplified to four columns containing who is responsible for making a recommendation before decision is taken, who is responsible for approving a decision, who is consulted beforehand, and who is informed afterwards.(i.e a RACI model – Responsible, Approve, Consult, Inform)
10.3. DP said a separate table each for the Board and Committee would be helpful so members could focus on their specific training requirements.
10.4. LW added that it would be helpful to include how long it will take to complete each training course to help Board members decide whether they have the capacity to undertake it.
10.5. CA asked whether the training is paid by individual members of the ESPF.
10.6. Michelle King (MK) confirmed that all costs are covered by the ESPF.
10.7. The Board RESOLVED to:
1) Endorse the Training Strategy subject to the decision making matrix being simplified and separate training plans for the Board and Committee included; and
2) request that the revised decision-making matrix is circulated for information.
